How you say goodbye is powerful.

 

This time can be full of appreciation, love, and few regrets.

 

That’s why New York Times Bestselling author Cecil Murphey and I wrote Saying Goodbye: Facing the Loss of a Loved One.  This hardcover gift book, beautifully illustrated by Michal Sparks, is designed to bring relief and comfort. Filled with stories, this little book is intensely personal and practical.

Facing the Loss of A Loved One

In Saying Goodbye, we share about…

  • How to prepare yourself for what is coming
  • How to take care of yourself while caring for others
  • How your presence is the most powerful thing you have to give
  • How to honor and affirm your loved one
  • How to deal with past mistakes, wounds, and hurts
  • How God’s love plays into this entire process
  • How to say goodbye and let go

Help Is Here

If you are facing a loss, you want to do this well. Saying Goodbye can help. 

If you know someone facing a loss, Saying Goodbye can provide the words you may be at a loss for.

If you’re a pastor or church leader, Saying Goodbye can be a resource that provides practical help to those you serve.

One more thing. I speak on this subject often. If you think I can perhaps serve your group, church, or organization, email me and let’s start talking. 

 

God had me pick this book up! My dealings with patients (and some day loved ones) will forever be changed. I’m so thankful to have read this.

More Praise

This is a wonderful book to read today and then save for the times in life when you too are facing the loss of a loved one. After spending many precious hours with my loved ones who were under hospice care, I wish I would have had such a useful and direct resource to guide my thoughts, words and actions.

Gary and Cecil do an excellent job of helping loved ones know how to walk through this difficult time. The suggestions at the end of each chapter are practical, tenderly presented and helpful. I plan on getting some copies to provide for our families who have to travel this difficult road.

Thanks to Gary, Cecil and Michal for this wonderful book on saying “goodbye”. I will be referring back to this book frequently and will purchase it for those who are dealing with this difficult situation. When in the midst of a crisis, we need brief, practical information presented in a way that is easy to process. This book accomplishes this task.
